Exploring Ethical Obligations of Mental Health Professionals
Designed to meet the NYS requirement, but is NOT New York state specific
Can mental health professionals work with clients that they know from outside of
the job? Can you barter with clients for your services? Mental health
professionals are charged with the legal and ethical responsibility to maintain
professional boundaries, but the obligation isn’t always so easy to discern. This
course brings real-world context to ethical concerns often experienced by
professionals in practice in maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This
course will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make
informed decisions that insulate professionals from legal liability while protecting
clients from harm.
